    "content": "(iii) The Kenya Ambassador to Sudan met with Kenyan nationals who are currently resident in Juba and other parts of Southern Sudan. The Kenya Ambassador to Sudan, Mr. Robert Ndisu, visited Southern Sudan twice in 2008 and 2009. Together with the Consular General, they meet with Kenyan nationals in Juba and other regions. The objective was among other things to sensitize both the Kenyan nationals and the Government of Southern Sudan authorities on the rising critical issues of insecurity which were affecting our citizens.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the 4th of February, 2010, an inter-Ministerial meeting between the GoK and the Government of Southern Sudan was held in Nairobi. The main objective was to follow up on the Kenyan-Sudan border issues. The GoK made it very clear to the Government of Southern Sudan delegation that protection of life and property of Kenyans in Southern Sudan is currently evident. The meeting urged them to set up elaborate measures to reverse the trend where many Kenyans were losing their lives. Kenyan Ministers have officially also visited Southern Sudan; these were the Ministers for Public Service, the Minister for Information and Communications, the Minister for Medical Services, the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing and the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
